Just To Be Clear

Here's an accounting of the corporate criminality at one, one, coal mine, a non-union coal mine. But, like SueHank's non-union workers, I'm sure they were all happy, happy. I can just taste the mint julips.

"In the hours after Monday's explosion, Eugene Kitts, a company vice president for mining, said the 46 alleged violations described in MSHA's most recent inspection report were all minor. 'We addressed them,' he said.

But in MSHA's reports, 18 of the 46 most recent violations were listed as 'significant and substantial.' Among the problems cited: inadequate safeguards against the collapse of the mine roof and inadequate ventilation to guard against the buildup of deadly gases."
